[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 127145, member: 468"]I do appreciate all this information as I always want to learn and so that I state things properly in regard to all military services, ours, yours, Canadian and all others of whom we share the same goals. So I do understand what you have written and note that 'Congressional' would also be incorrect as I first stated. It is 'awarded' not 'won' and it is awarded by our Congress in [U]our[/U] name. Congress has done, zip, zero, nada to earn it. 3,510 Medals of Honor have been awarded to 3,491 individuals. I am here now to do my best to stand for, and in front of them to help you and others understand what this means, what it means to state anything in regard to them properly. The have surely earned it and more from me. ~ I am even more in 'defense' of them at this moment having just been to Arlington National Cemetery in Virgina and to The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where I watched for a while and also observed a changing of the guard. ~ I leave this discussion now with this link. > [URL]http://www.homeofheroes.com/moh/history/history_statistics.html[/URL][/QUOTE]
